Interesting....now I remember why I think he doesn't have it....because it says it spreads quickly, but he is the only one with those spots and he's had them for MONTHS. I guess I'll remove him in case and try treating, but seems odd he is only one with it. I have treated the tank for parasites during that time, too (remember the blocked birth canal guppy?). Hmmm Oh well. I think the old one died last night....guess I'm going fishing tonight.

Well that really doesn't sound like velvet then but seeing as stress is a big part of their lives with that bully male maybe they are the only ones to show it. I would put them in a quarantine tank if you can and see how they go for starters because just the fact they aren't stressed might be enough to allow them to recover from whatever they have.

Please keep us informed as this is very interesting.
